Background

About Jon Oconnor

I am a driven and versatile professional with a strong foundation in construction management, civil engineering, and military leadership. Since graduating with a degree in Civil Engineering in 2016, I have developed a comprehensive skill set managing complex construction projects, coordinating multidisciplinary teams, and delivering results under challenging conditions. Having recently completed my Master's in Engineering Management, I am equipped with advanced knowledge in project management, strategic planning, and problem-solving. This, combined with my experience working as a Field Artillery Officer in the New Jersey National Guard, has honed my ability to lead in high-pressure environments, manage large-scale operations, and make critical decisions in real-time. Throughout my career, I have worked in both civilian and military sectors, where I've overseen projects from design through completion, ensuring they meet both client expectations and safety standards. My expertise spans project budgeting, resource allocation, risk management, and team coordination—skills that allow me to effectively bridge the gap between engineering and leadership. Whether managing a project site or leading a tactical mission, my commitment to excellence, efficiency, and continuous improvement drives me to deliver exceptional outcomes. I thrive in collaborative environments and am always eager to take on new challenges that contribute to organizational growth and success.
